About Me

Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the world! I'm Christy and I am so blessed to be the wife of a wonderful, God-fearing man as well as the mom of four great children.

In our family, learning is not about 'filling a bucket', but it's about 'lighting a fire'! We sincerely desire for our children to love to learn, and that's why we homeschool.

Book knowledge will only take our children so far. But if their hearts are trained toward the things of the Lord, then they will be ok no matter what life may bring them.

I'm glad you're here. Grab a warm mug of hot chocolate, sit back, and read about the many different things that I think throughout the day... "Hey, that would make a good blog entry!"

My Family

In May of 1993 the Lord finished creating me when he sent me my other half, the half that I had been without for the first 17 years of my life. Two short years later, we were married and I was finally whole."I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go..." Song of Solomon 3:4

Over the next few years God blessed us beyond our wildest dreams when He sent us four beautiful angels. Our children have brought us more joy than we ever knew was possible and we are honored God chose us to be their parents."Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward..." Psalm 127:3

Our Children

*Baby Girl- age 17

Because she was our long-awaited, much-anticipated, prayed-and-hoped-for first baby and will always be our baby girl.

*Handsome- age 14Because when he was younger he thought his little brother was cuter than he was, so mommy started calling him her little handsome guy.

*Reece Cup- age 13Because his middle name is Reece and when he was little he was the sweetest little thing and I called him my little Reece Cup because I could have just eaten him up!

*Princess- age 12Because she was our baby princess and was treated as such by everyone in our home right from the moment she was born.

I don't know about you, but I have at least one kiddo here that struggles with math. Always has, but hopefully we can find a way to help her at least understand it a bit easier, even if she never really 'loves' it.

I just found this, Making Math More Fun, and I think this would be a great thing for ALL our kids, not just Baby Girl who dreads math time every day.

We are a big game-playing family and every Friday is Fun-Day here at Lighthouse Academy! So much learning takes place without the kids even realizing it whenever they are playing board/card games. So I'm adding this to my school shopping list for this next school year. Where else can you get so many math games for such a cheap price? And I love that I get them right away! No more waiting on shipping and I don't have to worry about storing one more thing.

Now, if I can just convince Honey that a laminator is an essential tool for any homeschool!

Check it out here! They're having a Friday the 13th special and you get 8 e-books for only $13.00! Now THAT'S what I call a bargain!
